GCP Producer Portal – Self-Serve Free Trials

📌Overview

Google Cloud is simplifying the Free Trial experience for ISV partners. A new Free Trial section is being added to the Producer Portal to provide a self-serve experience for enabling or disabling trials directly on listings.

Free trials add tremendous value for both ISV partners and for Google Cloud customers alike. It allows ISVs to have a wider reach and for customers who want to try before they buy a product.

🕒Current Process (Before Aug 15)

• ISVs had to fill in the Cloud Marketplace Solution Trial Intake Form, if they want to configure free trials for their products

• The Marketplace team reviewed and configured the trial, which could take multiple days.

  ---

✨What's Changing (Effective Aug 15)

• A new Free Trial section will appear on the Producer Portal for each listing.

• ISVs Partners can:

  ✅Create a new Free Trial

  ✅Disable an existing Free Trial

• Trials are configured instantly, without requiring form submission.

• It is available for both new and existing listings.

  

🔧What's Not Changing

• The ISV Partners will need to specify both:

  • Trial period (in days) — e.g., 30 days.

  • Trial credit amount (in USD) — e.g., $100.

  Additional considerations mentioned here will continue to apply.

✨Key Benefits

• Faster, self-serve setup (no form delays).

• Greater flexibility for ISVs to manage free trials.

• Seamless updates across new and existing listings
